14g Gelatine = Thicker Stands

Nicole1976 · Feb 18, 2009

Hello Ladies,

Has Anybody taken Gelatine before?

The Sweetest B, posted a link in
another thread about hair
(Thanks Sweetest B :yep:

)

In this article I read that Gelatin
makes the hair strand thicker,
to be exact; 45 percent thicker strands :grin:

I tried doing a search using the LHCF search engine
to gain more information and could find nothing :look:

Take a look for yourself (Go to topic Protein):
http://www.stophairlossnow.co.uk/Vitamins.htm

If you've used this, did you
see any difference in your stands?

Let's try this out!

I used gelatin before instead of aphogee protein treatment and had the same result!

casey3035 · Feb 18, 2009

Wow! Thanks for the info! I have been taking this lately but I dont know how much because it is actually an ingredient in 2 other supplements I take but I plan to find out.

Nicole1976 · Feb 18, 2009

Okay, so far we've got some pretty positive feedback...

Come on Ladies...weigh-in :grin:

Serenity_Peace · Feb 18, 2009

I'm not sure how to take it or use it. Explain how it's used.

Hi Serenity,

Here's the peice I read that mad me post this thread:

Protein
Protein is a basic ingredient in many hair shampoos and conditioners and is also the major ingredient of hair itself, which is at least ninety per cent protein. Whilst this should not necessarily be the main ingredient in your diet, its importance should not be ignored.
In controlled tests volunteers, supplementing their diets with protein in the form of 14g of gelatine daily, found it increased the thickness of individual hair strands by as much as 45 per cent in only two months.
Diet can influence both hair growth and quality and gelatine has exhibited one of the highest specific dynamic effects of any food or supplement.
Given that a strong hair is a healthy hair, the study noted that the gelatine induced increases in the diet constituted an improvement in the mechanical properties of the hair, including strength. When the volunteers stopped eating the gelatine, their hair returned to its original diameter within six months.

I think this may be another vit we LHCFer's have not given due credit :yep:

Libra08 · Feb 18, 2009

I'm definitely going to try this! I have to go vitamin shopping and this will be added to my list!

Thank you so much!!! :kiss:

I will check into this as well and take a trip to my beloved Whole Foods...

Lucky's Mom · Feb 18, 2009

I am confused - is this an internal treatment, or are you ladies using this as an "aphogee" treat?

RavenMaven · Feb 18, 2009

Interesting. Thaanks! I will have to stop by the vitamin shop sometime this week i suppose.

luckiestdestiny · Feb 18, 2009

I think it's internal....

I thought about taking gelatin before but heard lots of people gained weight on it. IDK if I need that side effect. I just lost over 12 pounds, and need to lose more, do I want to be putting it back on? Can someone share insight on this? Then again others claim weight loss. Who knows...Please share anything about either subject

Be sure to come back and let us know

I think I will have to make another trip to Vitamen Shoppe to pick this one up!

I will keep everyone posted as well :yep:

gn1g · Feb 18, 2009

I have to come back to read the post.

About 20 years ago I took gelatin to make my nails grow and it made them grow long and strong as well as my eyelashes and hair.

Keep us posted Raven...we need more feedback on this.

BTW, everyone, remember you need to use this for atleast 2 months before you see results...my assumption is we will probably see results before then :yep:

Serenity_Peace · Feb 18, 2009

Keep us posted on the brands you use too, ladies! :yep:

Serenity_Peace · Feb 18, 2009

...also, check on the back of your multivitamin and hair vitamins to see how much gelatin, if any, is included in them.

Maxitonia · Feb 18, 2009

can I take only 1000 or it has to be more than that to see results.

No one answered my question earlier so I'll ask you as you've used gelatin before...did it make you gain weight? I hope not.

Serenity_Peace · Feb 18, 2009

^^^ Oh, no. I definitely DO NOT want to gain weight!! :nono:

locabouthair · Feb 18, 2009

Thicker strands=coarser hair right?

dreamlovermd · Feb 18, 2009

Thank You for the info ladaies. I will start taking gelatine this week.
My grandmother use to eat jello everyday and her hair and her nails were long. She use to give my brother and I jello everyday as a desert.

Thanks

Apparently Gelatin has been used as a tool in loosing weight, according to article I just read:

And has benefits for Joints, Hair and Nails...we just need to figure out which Gelatin product is the best to buy

http://www.nutricraze.com/Gelatin-a-10243.html

By the way Gelatine is French for Gelatin :yep:

According to the study, it increases the thickness of the hair by 45%, which implies coarser hair :yep:

But we shall see :look:

Too early to say.

The study used 14g's of Gelatin

seraphim712 · Feb 18, 2009

Just an observation: Could this be why Asian people have the thickest strands out of everyone? Aside from their intake of fish, seaweed, rice and herbal teas, they do eat sweets and pastries that contain gelatin like products I believe.

morehairplease · Feb 18, 2009

thicker strands......I am ALL over this for sure

Thats for sure!

I am still trying to find a good
Brand.

Let me know what you decide on,
so we can compare notes :yep:

Libra08 · Feb 18, 2009

I'm going to buy Puritan's brand because they are offering free shipping and buy two get three free so I'll get 5 bottles for a little under $16. That seems like a steal to me, but their gelatin is only 10g so I might just take two a day for awhile to make up.

makinwande · Feb 18, 2009

Eat Jello!! But what is gelatin anyway? Well apparently gelatin is collagen that is taken from connective tissues, bones, organs and intestines of cows and horses. Now do you really want to eat 4 cups of jello/fruit flavored animal scrap everyday? Think about it!!
